Crooked Cucumber
The Life and Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki
by David Chadwick
Shunryu Suzuki is known to countless readers as the author of the modern spiritual classic, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. This most influential teacher comes vividly to life in Crooked Cucumber, the first full biography of any Zen master to be published in the West. To create his intimate and engrossing narrative, David Chadwick draws on Suzuki's own words and the memories of his students, friends, and family.
Interspersed with previously unpublished passages from Suzuki's talks and correspondence, Crooked Cucumber evokes a down-to-earth life of the spirit that goes beyond religion to reveal what it means to be fully human.
